Inter Milan Pushing To Sign €25M Rated France U21 Star In Time For FIFA Club World Cup Knockouts | OneFootball

Inter Milan are pushing to sign striker Ange-Yoan Bonny in time for the start of the Club World Cup knockout rounds.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that Inter will have until July 3rd to wrap up a deal for the Frenchman.

Inter Milan are now rapidly approaching the closing stage of negotiations with Parma for striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.

The Nerazzurri’s interest in the 21-year-old is certainly no secret. They had already been targeting him before appointing Cristian Chivu as coach – and the Romanian has further pushed them towards a deal.

Inter see Bonny as an ideal player to follow in the footsteps of Marcus Thuram, reports the Gazzetta.

The Gazzetta dello Sport confirm that Inter and Parma are very close to a deal for Bonny. They are ready to agree a fee of around €25 million,

Inter did not manage to wrap up the signing of Bonny in time for the start of the Club World Cup.

Therefore, the France Under-21 international has not been in their squad for the group stage matches at the tournament, now underway.

However, anticipates the Gazzetta, Bonny’s arrival shouldn’t be far away. And it may not come a moment too soon for Inter.

The Nerazzurri are currently struggling in attack.

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez looked a bit sluggish in Inter’s Club World Cup group stage opener against Monterrey. And Marcus Thuram, even moreso.

Meanwhile, Sebastiano Esposito started the match. However, the 22-year-old already has one foot out the door this summer.

Mehdi Taremi is unavailable. It is unclear when he will be able to leave Iran amid Israeli airstrikers.

Francesco Pio Esposito is currently out injured. And Valentin Carboni is just coming back from a lengthy knee injury.

Therefore, reports the Gazzetta, Inter want to bring in Bonny to bolster their attacking ranks for the next phase of the Club World Cup – should they qualify for the knockouts, that is.

There is an additional transfer window for clubs participating in the tournament to register new signings between June 27th and July 3rd. And according to the Gazzetta, Inter will move for Ange-Yoan Bonny then.
